Workload Identity
A workload identity is the identity attached to a running application component, container, job, or compute workload.
Definition
A workload identity is a technical identity associated with a deployed compute unit such as a container, function, batch job, or application runtime. It allows that workload to authenticate to other services without relying on a human-owned account.
The Ariovis perspective
Machine, workload and agent identities need the same fundamentals as human identities: a clear owner, controlled credentials, limited permissions, a lifecycle and traceability.
